This week is all about making and editing movies. When you are developing your teaching and learning space you might like to add some video content which you have created so here are some options from which you might like to choose one or two to explore. To share your movies you should consider creating either a YouTube or Vimeo Account. (Note to upload to YouTube you need to have created and signed into a Google Account). In schools you may still find digital movie cameras which are still functional however the need to learn how to use them, maintain their charge, connect up to download etc makes them "too hard" for most classrooms to utilise. iPods, mobile phones and tablets are so much easier to use, (second hand phones without a SIM card but which can still connect to a wireless network are an excellent video and still camera option). If you have access to movie cameras, you can use Windows MovieMaker or iMovie to edit and manipulate the video.
Just as you can edit digital images online though, you can also edit movies online Increasingly schools are using devices such as Smartphones and Tablets to not only capture the video but also to edit and upload them such as the example below. Note many of these can also be shared from the device to enable editing on a computer or online.
You might also like to create a screencasting movie of what is happening on your computer screen. Screencast-o-matic is free software that can be used on-line or downloaded for use off-line on both PC or Mac computers.
If you are looking to create video playlists, Richard Byrne shares a great post listing 5 Free Tools for Curating Educational Videos from Across the Web.
